Our stay at the cottage was perfection despite the weather. Rhian and Tom, the owners, were very friendly and helpful. We had a basket of goodies waiting for us when we arrived. Everything we needed was provided, including tea and coffee etc. We were even provided with a free car park pass covering most coastal towns. Our two small dogs had a blast chasing around the fields. We will be certainly returning next year.

Gorgeous cottage in an idyllic location. Hosts Tom & Rhian were fantastic, provided a fantastic welcome basket promoting local produce . Well equipped with everything for the perfect peaceful getaway. Walks from the doorstep and a lovely hot tub to soak those aches away. Would highly recommend. All four of us have come home feeling relaxed and rein vigorated.
Joanne
Tom and Rhian were the most welcoming hosts. Whilst you are staying on a working farm, you are left to your own devices, but they are on hand should you need them. The cottage was absolutely perfect. The location stunning - the views were beautiful. Tom and Rhian had thought of everything that would make the stay as comfortable as possible, and the little treats found in the fridge was a nice touch.
Danielle
Absolutely second to none! The cottage is completely gorgeous, included everything you need and had a beautiful view of the sea with the most loveliest hosts we could have asked for! The towns either side were only a 15-20 minute drive away and were perfect, full of dog friendly cafes. The beach is close enough to walk, or you can park practically next to the sand dunes. Theres plenty of places to walk with Dolgoch waterfalls being our favourite, all in all a perfect holiday! Thank you so much!
Nicola
An absolutely beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting. Beautifully presented and everything so clean. A lovely welcome from the hosts and really helpful with local walks etc. I would highly recommend this for a weekend with friends (we were four ladies having an annual get together with lots of wine and hot tubs under the stars) but equally great f or a family of four and I would definitely return with the kids.
Kayleigh
Gorgeous cottage, great amenities, fantastic views and lovely welcome basket. The hosts were very friendly, easily contactable and would go out of their way to assist us with everything we needed.
Leanne
This cottage is located on a working farm in an idyllic location with stunning views. Its been refurbished to an exceptionally high standard with no expense spared. The cottage is equipped with absolutely everything you would need. The cottage has a wood burner that was set up just waiting to be lit and we were given extra logs when we ran out. The owners were very friendly and we even had regular visits for the resident dogs. We loved it here and will certainly return.
Janet
We had a wonderful week away. The cottage was absolutely amazing. It had everything we needed was warm and cosy and clean. The hosts were so nice the ewes had started to have their lambs so T on showed us them in the barn and we got to hold new born twins. We went out walking in good weather and stayed in when it snowed just admiring he views. The hot tub was an added extra. I would definitely recommend this lovely cottage.
Daniel
Absolutely fabulous place to stay, great location, superb cottage and facilities, its clean, comfortable and spacious inside and out. We will definitely be visiting again in the future. The fact it was dog friendly was perfect for our furbabies to holiday with us.
Traci
this is a great place to stay. 20min walk over fields to aberdovey. the accomodation was excellent. warm and full of all the equipment you need. it is in the middle of a working farm so sheep and cattle roaming about is a regular sight. Tom and Rhian were great hosts.
Georgina
Fabulous place and lovely people. Even with the rubbish weather still had an excellent time!
Sarah
Had a lovely stay here, the cottage is amazing with everything you could ever wish for. When we arrived there was a basket with cheese, milk , cake and butter, very kind of the owners. We spent our weekend going on lovely walks on the hills, visiting the beach and the local town then coming back to warm up in the hot tub. And we could bring our dog ! We all enjoyed our stay, I would defiantly recommend, thank you.
Joe
Amazing cottage, dog friendly, great location, amazing views !! Hot tub was great. The owners are so friendly aswell! We will definitely be back!
Veronica
Beautiful cottage that is well laid out for two couples without treading on each others toes. Well equipped with everything you need. We stayed over New Year when the weather was pretty bad, so did not have full advantage of the views and stunning location, but still managed to take advantage of the hot tub. Although a working farm and some activit y surrounding the cottage, the lovely owners respect your privacy and will chat if you want to, but leave you alone if not.
Katlin
Lovely place to take your furry family members. Lovely and relaxing stay. Hope to book again for the summer.
